Just collecting examples of Tokais in this finish.

Began in 1987? Revived by 2019.

Note: These seem like 1987/1988 serial numbers. The 1987 Vol 13 catalog only shows the pink paisley version. Perhaps the blue flower began production after its printing in which was likely in late 1986 or early 1987?

Note that the 1989 catalog specifically says it has a maple findgerboard laminated on a maple neck.

Hard to see it, but I think there’s a change in the grain. Not the clearest pictures.
